The NEXT Project is a developmental basketball camp started by Chris Gustafson of Carlyle. It’s an opportunity for youth basketball players to develop their skill and love for the game. Salem hosted the first of 4 weeks last night with 74 campers. Franklin Park is letting them use the gym and multiple schools and churches have let them borrow equipment. Kids from Woodlawn, Odin, Salem, Raccoon, Selmaville and other areas began the camp.
